Hi,

A BSOD in Windows 10 usually indicates a serious software/ Opertating System issue.

Since BSOD's cover a multitude of errors, we need the exact error message you receive. Perhaps you could upload a screenshot for us please?

If you don't want to get the PC to show a BSOD again, then you'll need to check the event viewer to find the error and any additional information such as the stop error code.

This guide explains how

I have been getting this BSOD error too. Upon googling the error code I found this..OMG Fix ur crap MS.

When you say 'fresh install' are you talking a totally fresh install? As in completely wiped the drive before you reinstalled the OS? Used a different delivery device (a brand new USB Flash drive). With another download of the Windows Media Creation tool?

If you have done a totally fresh install, the including the above, this issue could be caused by many different things. Pinpointing it, may prove tricky.

1. RAM Issues: Faulty RAM modules are a common cause of BSODs, even with a fresh install. Memory problems can manifest in various errors, including "Kernel Heap Corruption" and "IRQL Not Less Than or Equal." Test your RAM using a tool like Memtest86 to identify any errors.
   
2. Storage Device Errors: Problems with your hard drive or SSD, such as bad sectors or controller issues, can cause file corruption and BSODs. Check your storage drive for errors using tools like CHKDSK (built into Windows) or a manufacturer-provided diagnostic tool.
   
3. Overheating Components: If your CPU or other components are overheating, it can lead to instability and BSODs. Ensure adequate cooling by checking fans, cleaning dust, and reapplying thermal paste if necessary.
   
4. Power Supply Issues: An inadequate or failing power supply can cause system instability and BSODs. If possible, test with a different power supply to rule this out.
   
5. Motherboard Problems: Issues with the motherboard, such as faulty capacitors or a failing chipset, can lead to a variety of BSOD errors. This is often harder to diagnose and may require professional help.
   
6. Peripheral Problems: In some cases, a faulty peripheral device (like a graphics card, Wi-Fi adapter, or even a USB device) can cause BSODs. Try disconnecting non-essential peripherals to see if the issue resolves.
   

2. Driver Issues

• Incompatible or Corrupted Drivers: Even with a fresh install, Windows might not have the correct drivers for all your hardware. In some cases, Windows Update might install generic drivers that aren't fully compatible. Visit the manufacturer's website for each component (motherboard, graphics card, etc.) and download the latest drivers.
  

3. BIOS Issues

• Outdated or Corrupted BIOS: An outdated or corrupted BIOS can sometimes cause compatibility issues and BSODs. Check your motherboard manufacturer's website for BIOS updates and follow their instructions carefully to update the BIOS.
  
• Incorrect BIOS Settings: Incorrect BIOS settings, such as incorrect memory timings or voltages, can lead to instability. Try resetting the BIOS to default settings to see if the issue resolves.
  

4. Installation Media Issues

• Corrupted Installation Media: If the Windows installation media (USB drive or DVD) is corrupted, it can lead to a faulty installation and BSODs. Try creating new installation media using the official Microsoft Media Creation Tool.
